Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for monitoring a probe condition, a test system, a computer device, and a storage medium. The method for monitoring a probe condition includes: acquiring test data of a sensitive test parameter which is obtained by a probe under a preset needle depth, wherein the sensitive test parameter is a test parameter sensitive to a contact resistance between the probe and a structure under test; and monitoring a condition of the probe according to the test data of the sensitive test parameter.
